In tribute to the Armed Forces today the participants will be mostly dressed in black and for the men business attire is encouraged.

Celebratory music has also been cancelled as well

That's why i'm wondering about why his fellow nominees stood with him. Their documentaries were probably fact based and triple checked for accuracy to ten decimal places, where Moore did the exact opposite. Why stand with someone who made a joke of your life's work and is getting an award for it?

[Wavyhill]

Hey, don't complain to me. I spent a long time not getting Fox and having to watch Judy Woodruff instead. I've got a strong stomach! :)

[gortklattu]

whats up with all the nominees getting up on stage..did they all go up to protest bush

Yep. Solidarity, brother....

Remember, with liberals, numbers mean more than virtue.

There are a few sane people amongst the Hollyweenies.

They're probably the grips and crew hands sitting up in the nose-bleed sections.

Michael Moore was reasonably well-known in some circles before this stunt, but he wasn't exactly a household name. Now he's gone before a national audience, while Americans soldiers are in harm's way, and spewed his hateful drivel. Not a great way to introduce yourself to the country. He's toast (ahem...professionally that is ).

The craft people in Ho-wood are generally conservative, like my s-i-l. They do not take kindly to demonstations like that idiot just made. I'm sure they would like to 'help' him into a trunk.

[Lil'freeper]

To each their own! (she just kissed oscar's butt)

"Call me clueless, but I didn't understand Steve Martin's comment about the teamsters. Can someone help me out?? "

The great limo liberal Moore made a non union film.

[Wavyhill]

I nominate Michael Moore for the Bellesiles Award for Journalistic Integrity.

[sheik yerbouty]

Any fold will do.

[socal_parrot]

Miramax honcho Harvey Weinsteing should buy some pants that fit.

[Lil'freeper]

Sorry, I just needed a shoulder to cry on.

[sweetliberty]

"I like ths symmetry of watching both Baghdad *and* Babylon implode."

Interesting perspective.

[ewing]

You mean this Foxy lady?

[FirstTomato]

Moore's film was fiction. It was a fantasy filled with lies. So he's got some nerve calling the President and this war "fiction".

[pbear8]

See post #526.

[Lil'freeper]

Ack! with a peace pin even!

[doug from upland]

Martin's joke meant that Michael Moore would be killed. He would be dumped in the trunk by teamsters because it is a union job in Hollywood. :)

[BossLady]

Teamsters have long been identified as dealing with their enemies by 'talking a ride in the trunk' then, being disposed of in a not so nice way.

Has Steve Martin been making liberal jokes through the show? I really like that guy. "I am one wild and crazy guy!"
